TIE VEDDER BILL STRUGGLE.

Tho struggle over the Vedder bill In the
| Assembly yesterday reached serious proper
tions The Republicans can now Judge OF
tho Importance of this measure by tho desper.
alto endeavors Of the Democrats to defeat it
Governor Hill would have good cause for ex-
ultation il Republican votes saved him from
the dilemma in which he will be placed by the
passage Of the bill. But what Of the account
ing which Republicans voting the wrong way
on this bill must expect to have with their
party and with their constituents Some Re
publicans voted the wrong way yesterday.
Their names are -.
e. GALLAGHER. Erie
G. II. HENRY. New-York.
WILLARD H. MAsE, Duchess.
E. W. MAURER. Monroe
J. REITZ, Kings.
@. SMITH, New-YOrk.
NJ. A. SMITH, Sullivan.
All of these and every other Republican
member Of the Assembly should be found vot-
ing for tho passage of tho bill this morning.
Tho Republicans had tho votes to pass it
yesterday, but the Democrats flibustered and
prevented the bill from being reached. There
wero sixty -eight bills ahead of il in the order
for third reading, and as two-thirds vote
to take it up out Of order could not be OBJ
tanned, the only way left was to move that
every intervening bill lie on the table. This
required sixty-eight separate votes, and as
every Democrat was entitled to explain his
vote each time it became evident that the
obstructive tactics could not he overcome
Then the Republicans declared that no Demo
cratic bill should pass until a vote had been
reached on the Vedder BILL and at O'Clock
on motion of Mr.. Erwin the Assembly ad-
jouned until $50 O. m. today. The rules
being suspended on the last day Of the scs-
sion, the bill can be brought up at once by
majority vote, and this time The Republicans
must SEQ TO it that tho obstructonists are kept
under. It may DO necessary to extend the
legislative session day to pass the many bills
which tho Democratic tactics have thrown
over. This Of course the Democrats are alone
responsible for. They have acted throughout
in this matter as the uncompromising agents
of the rumselleIs. They have deliberately
opposed tho plain interests Of their constitu-
ents They have put themselves on record
as against the reduction Of and for unrestricted
intempcrance Let the Republicans pin them
head and feet to the position they have chosen.
But there can be no relaxation of vigilance
until sixty-fve Republican votes have been
recorded for tho bill The Democrats will
fight ii TO the end for their orders from the
Governor arc TO that effect. Every point
musa therefore DO guarded and every con.
tingency calculated. An carly vote and
full one is what the occasion demands.

pcrate attempt at whitewashing the height of

METEORIC THENDER.

The most rapid cannon shots, accord
ing to M. Him, scarcely reach a speed
of 1000 feet per second, while meteor
ties penetrate the air at the rate of
twenty-five or thirty miles, and even
more, per second. With this velocity
the air is at once raised to a tempera-
ture of 1000 to 10000 degrees, and the
meteorite's surface is torn away by at
mospheric friction and vaporized by
the heat. The sounds produced range
from the whistling of q bullet to the
crash and roll of thunder. They are
explained by this author as resulting
from the rush of air to fill the gap in
the rear rather than from actual explo-
sion, being analogous to thunder after
lightning.

Tmnairment of vitality is the funda-
mental cause of most complaints ana
the effects of bad. water and air mostly
turn up in that way, at distance from
their cause, in forms that rarely betray
or suggest their real ultimate parent
age. Few but feel unweu somenmes'
or have sickness in their families; but
the immediate and secondary cause
little exposure, or fatigue, or lndlges-
ton, or epidemic influence accounts LOT
it, and nobody thinks of inqulr1ng why
vitality was not sufficient to repel the
attack as it ought to do. Hence, ninety
nine in hundred people are insenslble
to the dangers of an unwholesome water
supply, because in ninety-nine cases
out of hundred its effects are not
yisibly connected with their cause, OF
are thrown off by constitutional vigor
for time. Thousands of soldiers go
through scores of battles unhurt, and
thousands of persons triumph long in
their tobacco habit, their whisky habit,
or their bad-water habit. Those that
perish are forgotten and the survivors
laugh at warning.
A few days ago the writer drew from
Croton water pipe in the city OF New
York, a pail of water that exhaled 9
most offensive stencil. This, although
not an uncommon incident with Croton
water, is not so common as it is with
Newark water and that of many other
places, where the stencil is well-nigh
regular, especially in summer. The
stencil can mean nothing else but
organic corruption, in other words
poison, but we "stil1 live," and so it i
healthy. The reasoning is as stupid as
that of the old woman who pinned hel
faith on the month of February, be-
cause, she said, she had noticed that 4
she lived through that month she always
lived through the rest of the year
Nevertheless, those who laugh at the
one absurdity stick to the other.

MnTFMENr OF THE AIR.

The mean atmospheric pressure for
the whole earth, as shown by the ba-
rometer, is found by Kleiber. of St
Petersburg, to be 1921 inches. That
for the northern hemisphere is 29.96
inches, and for the southern 29.87. The
average northern excess is greatly in
creased in January, but becomes de-
ficiency in July, when the southern
pressure is slightly the greater. a mass

Nearly two hundred years ago Lon
don chimney-sweep found piece OF
iewelry and carried it to ieweler to
learn its value. Under pretense Of
weighing it the jeweler distracted the
stones, and then offered the sweep .
trihing sum in payment. This he re-
fused, and thereupon the other handed
back the setting without the stones
The sweep sued him, and the Judge in
structed the jury to find verdict for
the plaintiff and to assess the damages
at the value of stones of the first water
as the defendant would not produce
those he had taken out, in court.
The rule is still the same, and when
Mrs. Ellen Quinn, while sorting rags in
paper mill in Indiana, found two $50
bills in aD envelope, and handed them
to her employer to see if they were
genuine, and he kept them, the law
said he must give them back or render
their value. He argued that she was
in his employ as a sorter of rags, and
that what she found was his; also, that
he had bought the paper by weight,
and the bills were included; but the
court said as he did not know they were
there it was of no avail
Likewise, when Mrs. Blanchard found
three $40 bills in the parlor of the ho-
tel in which she worked, at Lewistown,
Pa, the court said that they we're hers
if no owner claimed them. Mrs. Blanch-
ard was very honest about the matter,
and when she found them took them to
the proprietor, who said he thought
they were the property of one Of his
guests, but he tried in vain to find the
owner. Mrs. b. then demanded the
money back, but he declined to give il
until the Supreme Court ordered him
to do so, telling him that the finder OF
lost property has claim to the same
against all the world save the true
owner.
The conductor of a Paramount horse
car some years ago found 800 AMONG
the hay on the floor of his car. Ht

not able to find the owner, and it wa
held that it must be returned to the
